ACCT 6205 - Strategic Cost Analysis

Credits: 2

Trains students to be effective users of managerial (especially cost) accounting. Demonstrates techniques for maximizing shareholder value by correctly identifying alternatives, assessing relevant costs, and choosing a course of action with case studies involving decisions on pricing (including special order), production alternatives (including make or buy), and allocation of scarce resources. Topics include cost behavior, cost-volume-profit relations, cost system design and interpretation, cost allocation, and activity-based costing, among other things. The course uses a combination of lecture, problems, and case discussions. Prerequisite: ACCT 6201 . (*updated* 11/11/2019; effective Spring 2020)
